Derbyshire Three Peaks Challenge

What is the Derbyshire 3 Peak Challenge?

Thee Derbyshire Three Peaks are Kinder Scout, Bleaklow Head and Higher Shelf Stones all connected by a 20.75 mile circular walk. We normally complete them in that order, but it is possible to go other ways. the challenge is to complete all three peaks in under 10 hours. Please note this is a guided walking challenge, if you do not require a guide but solely support with the challenge please get in touch.
